First and foremost, I have to thank all the members of There.com for making this Fundraiser such a huge success. You really come through for the Cross Country Racers (CCR) club! We had help from all sorts of people, some were not even CCR Members. People donated items to auctioned, people donated their time by making races for us to use, Blutec donated 1k for each person that raced her go cone races, Jayess donated a portion of his sales made over the weekend, people paid to play bingo, pay to take pot shots at other people that volunteered, and people donated to kiss their favorite hosts. 'tu '''love '''kiss

Things did not always go according to plan, teleports were slow and then often wrong (until you snapped into place), not everyone showed up that we expected, Bingo was alot more time consuming than i thought it would be, and then of course there was lag, lag and more lag. However what worked, was beautiful! Catrona & I were there for target practice! yay!! Bingo, only 26 persons played, but i handed out a lot of extra cards. The kissing booth, well kissing is always fun, right! Thanks to RK_Falagar, and kateshappy for lending their lips for the cause, and for catrona, and susanszy for filling in. All in all the pay to play day was pretty fun! and really thats what it is all about.

The fundraiser was a huge success! Thank you all!

Day 2 was the Pay to Play day, with not only races, but a dunking booth to douse your favorite villain-type person, a kissing booth to plant a big one on your favorite Host, and a pay to play bingo event, where you not only had to pay to enter the event, but for an additional fee you got an additional bingo card.

Just to let you know how successful these events were, we made a total of 106,417 Ts on these 3 events. 3,301 from the dunking booth, (*thanks to Catrona for volunteering), 37,116 for the kissing booths (*thanks to RK_Falagar, KatesHappy, catrona, and Susanszy for stepping into booths) and 66,000 for bingo! Big thanks to all of you that Paid/Donated to participate in these activities too.

Now for the races!
we had a few people that did the previous days races, (race 1 and/or 2) and they were added to the final drawing list. But for day 2 races, the finishers were as follows.

Exciting news! We've been asked to help find suitable talent for an upcoming movie production. The producer has selected the areas where screen tests will be held. Pink flamingos (oh those flamboyant Hollywood types) have been placed at each location; find them all before midnight eastern time on Friday, March 9th to be entered in the CCR dice roll.

A huge THANK YOU to RK_Falagar for providing the most excellent Icy Hot TUV (his design) as a prize for the first drawing! 'tu!

CCR has been around since There.com went public back in 2003. Hard to believe it is still a thriving, and growing club! But then i think It has all of you backing it. I could never afford to pay rent on this beautiful zone, nor could I keep hosting races, if it was not for the generosity of the members. I believe this will be our 7th fundraiser. I've tried to run them every year, the week before memorial day, thus catching some of you before school ends, or vacation start. I hope you will enjoy what i have in store for this year.

A CCR Extravaganza! 3 days of fun! carnival style! The zone will set up with carnival booths, kissing booths, dunking booths, and race starting points, of course. You will have 3 days of events to sign up for, and participate in.. I am calling them pay to play! Pay to paintball the hosts into the water, or kiss in the kissing booth. Plus i will have special guests that have offered to give their avy up for the cause. Paintball your favorite villain or kiss everyone's sweetheart! names will given out later. so you can plan ahead to attend!

We will also be hosting a very special bingo event. where not only will be asked to pay at the door, but for a small fee you may buy an extra card. all proceeds will go to CCR.

Now in addition to all this will be holding the usual auctions. I have collected a few things all ready, but not nearly enough. please consider donating your extra vehicles or T$s, or anything in your pockets or drawers that is actionable! it all will be sold!I want to thank some the donors so far: Susanszy, Carpenter, Essjay, Kelayna, Deleight, dave08, SarahJack, B_A_B_S and several other members that given items to be donated or T-bucks (T$), not to mention the members like RK_Falagar, Jayess1, Babs and others that regularly supply weekly prizes! And a big Thank you to Susanszy for all her help and support for the club , the events and help organizing the fundraiser. So keep the dates May 16th, 17th and 18th free and start signing up now for all the awesome events i have planned.
